Aldemar Castillo

Aldemar Castillo (died 1976) was a shopkeeper from Rionegro, Colombia. He was a family friend of the Escobar Gaviria family for years, and he distrusted their son Pablo Escobar, who he feared was up to no good. In 1976, he witnessed Escobar and Gustavo Gaviria robbing a bank, and he testified against them, leading to Escobar's arrest. Escobar arranged for Castillo to be shanked by one of his enforcers, preventing Castillo from testifying against him. Castillo was stabbed in the chest by an assassin as he left the bank, and his wife Isabel was informed of his death by the police.
